The story takes place on an unnamed island and is told by twelve year old Minou. She lives on the island with her father. The island is also inhabited by several other characters looking to escape their past. But the story focuses on Minou and her mother, who disappeared one year earlier. We find that Minou has not lost hope that her mother will soon return.
One day, a dead boy washes up on shore. Minou's father decides to keep the boy in her mother's room until the boy can be picked up by boat so the authorities can try to solve the mystery. Minou deals with the disappearance of her mother and the identity of the boy by trying to solve both puzzles herself.
The story is one of love and loss, told in such a beautiful way that the reader will be disappointed when this short tale ends.
Copies of the book are available at the Information Desk at the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library.
